I'm 17 right now, so I'm one of the young people in the hobby. It angers me that these places don't sell more trains. When I was young the Sears Wishbook would always have 2 or 3 HO sets and a cheap G scale set. The most recent one only has a Harry Potter HO train, a G scale Christmas set and a battery powered set for use with Christmas villiages (which isn't listed in the toy section). Come on, at least have a regular HO set! The trouble is that most stores only carry trains around Christmas and yet they carry all other toys year round. Why should a kid want a train for Christmas when they see so many other toys the rest of the year and can think about them? Also the fact that half the trains out at most places are Christmas trains. Only a total idiot buys one of these for their kids. They may be nice, but they can't be used year round. If we want kids to get interested in model trains we have to let them see them in the stores.
